Ode to the 4th gen (If I remember right):
-First to bring back 300 HP to the camaro and the muscle car in general
-Brought the SS back to camaro
-Brought the hurst shifter back to camaro
- Introduced the torsen differential to the world
- Brought the 6 speed to the muscle car
-Dominated the mustang in PERFORMANCE every year it was built
- I believe its performance beat the porsche boxter when introduced
- Brought the camaro back to road racing (the SLP SS concept was designed specifically for road racing in the SCCA and it won the championship that year).
Now I have a ZL1 ordered, but I also race a 4th gen in NASA road racing and very successfully, she is a beast at 3800 lbs but she wins the old fashioned way, fat engine + fat tires. The 4th gen may not be the prettiest but she is a muscle car and she is a camaro. There are a couple of items up there the 5th gen has yet to do... Respect your elders.
